The tunnel has been under construction for more than a year, with the #FederalGovernment expected to fund about $12 billion of its cost. But the #Transportation Dept said in October that it would withhold #funding until the project could be reviewed to make sure that its contracts followed with new federal rules targeting diversity, equity & inclusion [ #DEI] programs — or you know until they serviced Trump’s ego 🙄.

It includes the construction of a new two-track tunnel connecting #NewYork & #NewJersey, which are linked by 116-year-old tunnels in such poor condition that #trains are often delayed, creating a bottleneck.

The new tunnel will be crucial to avoiding a disruption in #rail service around New York City that would have drastic effects on the national #economy.

But withholding money from the tunnel over the names of #PennStation, the busiest train station in the country, would be a significant escalation of the effort to ensure #Trump’s “legacy”, tying it to a project that would have massive ripple effects across the East Coast.
The project, known as #Gateway, sits at the heart of the Northeast Corridor #rail route that runs from Boston to Washington & is the most-used passenger line in the #US.

Beyond the #KennedyCenter, #Trump & his allies have stamped his name on the US Institute of Peace & public-facing federal projects like investment accounts for American children & TrumpRx, a website that supposedly will help Americans buy medication directly from drugmakers. [He also added his name randomly throughout the State Department building.]

#Trump & Schumer met at the White House last month to discuss the frozen funds.

Though he is the top #Senate #Democrat, Schumer has NO direct #oversight over either transportation hub & rebuffed the request, acc/to 2 of the people.

Trump, known for affixing his name to NYC high-rises & Atlantic City hotels, has appeared to be undertaking a similar drive on a national scale during his second term.

Again I say, I bet he pees on everything too.

Officials Pressed Schumer to Rename #PennStation & #Dulles International Airport for #Trump
